<p id=”par-1_68″><em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/dancing-with-the-stars/”>Dancing with the Stars</a></em> semi-finals are the end of a season of ups and downs for many of the show’s celebrity competitors. With only 5 stars remaining, it’s down to the wire as the celebrities and their pros perform two dances that could be their lifeline to the finals or the end of the road. Tonight, one of them is going home one week short of the finale.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-these-fan-favorites-will-be-in-the-bottom-two-at-the-close-of-the-semi-finals”>These fan favorites will be in the bottom two at the close of the semi-finals</h2>
<p id=”par-2_33″>Five celebrities are left to compete during season 33 of <em>Dancing with the Stars</em>. The series semifinals challenge them to dazzle the judges and viewers with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/dancing-with-the-stars-mirrorball-mark-ballas-won.html/?swcfpc=1″>mirrorball-worthy</a> performances in <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/has-dancing-with-the-stars-drifted-too-far-ballroom-roots.html/?swcfpc=1″>ballroom and Latin styles</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-3_31″>However, there will be only three top performers of the five. <a href=”https://www.goldderby.com/feature/dancing-with-the-stars-winner-odds-season-33-1205948097/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Goldderby</a> predicts who will be at the top of the leaderboard and the celebrities who won’t make the finale. </p>
<p id=”par-4_29″>The odds-predicting site says <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/dancing-with-the-stars-chandler-kinney-joey-graziadei-dominate-disney-night.html/?swcfpc=1″><em>The Bachelor</em> star Joey Graziadei</a> is the season frontrunner. However, he has tough competitors in TV star Chandler Kinney and Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola.</p>
<p id=”par-5_21″>The dark horses of the season are Olympians Stephen Nedoroscik and Ilona Maher. Each is in danger of going home. </p>
<p id=”par-6_35″>However, there’s no true prediction of how fans will turn out for their favorites. Each celebrity is allowed 10 votes per couple. So for Nedoroscik and Maher, it’s anybody’s game depending on their semi-finals performances.</p>
